This presentation provides an overview of text complexity and the Common Core State Standards. It discusses the history of approaches to reading instruction and texts used in classrooms over time. It then explains the three elements of text complexity - quantitative, qualitative, and reader and task considerations. Specific examples are given to demonstrate how to evaluate texts using these three elements. The presentation concludes by discussing types of texts and genres outlined in the Common Core and providing resources for more information on text complexity.
The document provides an agenda and materials for a RICA exam preparation session. The agenda includes an overview of the exam format and content, test-taking strategies, reviews of the exam competencies, and sample essay writing exercises. Participants will engage in group activities to familiarize themselves with the exam expectations and practice the types of tasks it requires. The session aims to help attendees feel prepared for the RICA exam and understand what knowledge and skills it will assess.
The document describes several vocabulary games that can be used to teach English language learners new words:
1) Rise and Fall Definitions - Students choose between two definitions for a vocabulary word used in a sentence and stand up or sit down to indicate their choice.
2) Parade-Pause-Pair - Students mix and match vocabulary words and definitions by parading around and pairing up.
3) Four Corners - Students go to different corners of the room representing different definitions of a multiple meaning word based on the context of a sentence.
4) The Semantic Sleuth Squad - Students work in teams to define a vocabulary word used in a sentence by using context clues and word structure strategies.
